Links - 23rd July 2022 (Hwa Chong Sex Education)

HWA CHONG SCHOOL COUNSELLOR DISCRIMINATED LGBTQ PEOPLE DURING ASSEMBLY - "The slide displayed prejudices against those from the LGBTQ community, with statements such as “33% of homosexuals have problems with alcohol”, and “33% of homosexuals are pedophiles and rapists”."
There is some research supporting some of his claims (indeed, each claim had a source - though some are too small to read and some are problematic). Epistemologically, the problem is that he didn't contextualise them (you can't take one source and proclaim that the results for the sample are the true value for the population). But facts don't matter. Most of the condemnation was not because what he said was wrong - but because it was "discriminatory". You're not allowed to say anything negative about the alphabet community.
Of course some homophiles try to dispute his sources, but ironically they love to claim that one study "proves" that "homophobes" are secretly gay (even if the study itself mentions an alternative explanation for arousal)

Hwa Chong reprimands staff member, suspends him from sexuality education over anti-LGBTQ content - “We appreciate and emphasise respect and empathy for all, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, socio- economic status.”
It is telling that in the supposedly institutionally homophobic country of Singapore where homosexual sex lands gay men in jail and life for gay men is intolerable, a MOE-linked school is condemning material that offends the alphabet community and throwing their staff under the bus. Of course this won't stop the activists and their wild claims

Lesbian Use and Abuse of Alcohol: Results of the Boston Lesbian Health Project II: Substance Abuse - "Early studies on alcohol use found high rates of alcohol use and abuse among homosexuals(1,2). Almost one third of homosexuals had “alcohol related problems,” 33% of homosex-ual women were heavy drinkers, and 28% alcoholic. These rates of drinking and alcoholismwere 5 times that of heterosexuals"

Intestinal parasitic infections in homosexual men: prevalence, symptoms and factors in transmission. - "In a controlled study 67.5% of 200 homosexual men but only 16% of 100 heterosexual men were found to be infected with intestinal parasites"

Comparative data of childhood and adolescence molestation in heterosexual and homosexual persons - "In research with 942 nonclinical adult participants, gay men and lesbian women reported a significantly higher rate of childhood molestation than did heterosexual men and women. Forty-six percent of the homosexual men in contrast to 7% of the heterosexual men reported homosexual molestation. Twenty-two percent of lesbian women in contrast to 1% of heterosexual women reported homosexual molestation. This research is apparently the first survey that has reported substantial homosexual molestation of girls. Suggestions for future research were offered."

The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children: an exploratory study - "Previous investigations have indicated that the ratio of sex offenders against female children vs. offenders against male children is approximately 2:1, while the ratio of gynephiles to androphiles among the general population is approximately 20:1. The present study investigated whether the etiology of preferred partner sex among pedophiles is related to the etiology of preferred partner sex among males preferring adult partners. Using phallometric test sensitivities to calculate the proportion of true pedophiles among various groups of sex offenders against children, and taking into consideration previously reported mean numbers of victims per offender group, the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1. This suggests that the resulting proportion of true pedophiles among persons with a homosexual erotic development is greater than that in persons who develop heterosexually. This, of course, would not indicate that androphilic males have a greater propensity to offend against children."
Based on these numbers, 0.7-2.5% of the population being gay (as per the Williams Institute's summary of the numbers) and a general population pedophilia prevalence rate of 1-5%, I get anything from 3 to 60% of the gays being pedophiles (vs 0.9 to 4.7% for the straight population). As per the article, there is a difference between offending and non-offending pedophiles, noises of the "wood chipper" brigade aside

LGB people and extraverts tend to have more sexual partners, study finds
The health and well-being of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Britain: Evidence from the third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3)
Among men who have sex with men, the age-standardised mean number of lifetime sexual partners was 111 and the non-age standardised median was 17. Much lower than the study cited (which had selection bias issues), but still very high. For men who have sex exclusively with women (MSEW) the numbers were 14 and 6 respectively

60% of Gay Men Found To Get Venereal Disease - The Washington Post - "Sixty-six percent had had an episode of pediculosis -- infestation of head or crab lice. If these are included, then 78 percent of all respondents had experienced at least one sexually transmitted disorder."

How different are the adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships? Findings from the New Family Structures Study - "23% of LMs said yes when asked whether ‘‘a parent or other adult caregiver ever touched you in a sexual way, forced you to touchhim or her in a sexual way, or forced you to have sexual relations’"
LM = R reported R’s mother had a same-sex romantic (lesbian) relationship with a woman, regardless of any otherhousehold transitions

HIV and men who have sex with men - Wikipedia - "The CDC (2015) reported that gay and bisexual men accounted for 82% (26,375 out of 1,242,000 adults and adolescents) of HIV diagnoses among males and 67% of all diagnoses in the United States"

Meme - "Ah, your words, not mine! Blame has been assigned; all is well in the bureaucracy."
"Lol!"
"As someone who went for the actual assembly though, I would want to clarify that the news have greatly exaggerated the content and cherry- picked the details they put in. The actual topic was more of "not making your decision too quickly when it comes to sexual orientation" and "don't engage in too much activism at our age" rather than any outright homophobic views. Though he kinda tilted towards the conservative/ homophobic perspective, I don't think it's anywhere as bad as the media depicts it to be. The school also just kinda throw him under the bus and they said they didn't vet any of the materials for the though I suspect it is very similar content to past year cause most of the"
Meme - "sources were from before 2014)"
"maybe they said it was discriminatory because they knew they couldnt say it's not true"

Facebook - Pink Dot SG: "The HCI incident shows us that... MOE's lack of standards and guidelines means implementation of life-saving intervention is not only sorely lacking"
This must be the most brazen they've been in pushing trans mania
